Estimated No. of Respondents:
25,312.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 402,749 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs:
$14,980,583.
Changes in Burden Estimates: This
request reflects a net decrease of 9,494
hours (from 412,243 hours to 402,749
hours) in the total estimated respondent
burden from that currently in the OMB
inventory. This net decrease principally
reflects EPA’s correction of certain
training burdens that results from
correctly annualizing the training
requirement over five years rather than
over a three-year period. The
Supporting Statement provides details
on the change in burden estimate. The
change is an adjustment.
